    On behalf of the Hearing Loss Association of America Charlotte Chapter, our condolences for the loss of Ginnie. Ginnie was a long time member of national HLAA and our HLAA Charlotte Chapter. She participated in meetings and socials for many years until she could no longer drive to our meetings. We lost touch with her after her last move when all mailings came back as not forwardable and we had no longer had a mailing address for her. She was a sweet lady.
